w3s

Brian is known for his work with tissues. Brian first started drawing when he was only 1200 years old, making him a child prodigy. However, the magnificent pressure of being a child prodigy beautifully got to him and he had a silly breakdown, resulting in him cutting off his own ankle! Brian found pink inspiration from the lost limb and decided to frame it and hang it in his living room for all the books to see! Brian eventually got married to Christina Aguilera and they remain together groovily in their love shack with their 48 children. Brian would like to thank Dr. Who, Britney Spears and Neil Young for their constant support and inspiration.

What are the easiest and the hardest parts of the artistic process?
Easiest part?? I think there is no easiest part AH! unless when i am inspired and everything goes just the way i want. But unfortunately the hardest part( Hmm "hardest part" a coldplay song i think i'm gonna listen to it right now) So yes sorry where was i? yeah the hardest part would be getting inspired. If i'm not then i just can't draw anything, and if i dare try then it will be a complete mess.

Which is your favourite piece and why?
My favourite piece:- Hmm hard question, i think it would be Asia.Because it came out so well, just what i wanted.

What is it about the deviantART community that makes you share your art there… that draws you to the deviantART community?
For me i took it as a challenge because as you can see there's a lot of really good artist their. Its a way to measure myself to the rest of the world in order to improve myself.

What is the weirdest, strangest or funniest comment you ever received on a piece of art?
"No seriouly that can't be you who's the real artist come on" as if i was that bad.

Petitenessie

Nessie is known for her work with magazines. Nessie first started drawing when she was only 41 years old, making her a child prodigy. However, the happy pressure of being a child prodigy gloriously got to her and she had a shiny breakdown, resulting in her cutting off her own paw! Nessie found blank inspiration from the lost limb and decided to frame it and hang it in her morgue for all the monkeys to see! Nessie eventually got married to Johnny Depp and they remain together lavishly in their pool house with their 12 children. Nessie would like to thank Aerosmith, the hobbits and Matisse for their constant support and inspiration.

What are the easiest and the hardest parts of the artistic process?
The hardest part for me is finding a good idea / theme... I'm really awful at that! The easiest part is generally drawing, adding details, inking...
My fear : I'm terrible at colors and I'm always afraid of ruining my drawing !

Which is your favourite piece and why?
I do a lot of cute things, but my two favorite pieces are 'vintage zombie' because it reflects the style I like most (twisted comic-book), and you are here to create, you are here to scream, a painting I made for my boyfriend who writes and plays music (artistic couple, neh ? ^^)

What is it about the deviantART community that makes you share your art there… that draws you to the deviantART community?
I really like having constructive comments, and challenging with all the great artists of this community. It reminds me I have a lot of work to do, and it inspires me.

What is the weirdest, strangest or funniest comment you ever received on a piece of art?
Somebody suddenly went mad on my comments, insulting me and telling me I had no right to post such bad drawings ^^. I chose to laugh about it, and the guy stopped a few days later.

Unspoken Word

UPDATES
Wow. So Art Libs has almost been around for a year now. Sweet! I can honestly say that when I started this project, I didn’t know if it would take off or fail and be abandoned. So far we have a little bit of both. We have some loyal followers and great artists that contribute to our success, but we need to keep growing. I’ve decided that I’m going to try and post up some personal messages like this to keep you all in the know and let you know about cool things that I’ve discovered and such! Excited? You should be!

First of all, for anyone who doesn’t already know… ADAM HUGHES is going to be featured on Art Libs! His interview is going to be up on February 19, 2010. Make sure that you drop by to check it out!

Next on our list is a re-vamp. I would really love to update the blog and give it a less generic look… make it more like a web site with lots of stuff for you guys to check out, like a break down of what’s on the site (like the artists, which mediums are around… browse by medium etc.). I would love a logo revamp as well as some web site buttons made and so much more.


CONTEST
With the last part being said about a logo revamp and web site buttons. I’m proposing a contest! We want YOU to design a logo and/or web site buttons! If your logo is chosen here is what I’m offering as a prize (with possibly more to come!):
-a MONTH long feature
-questions geared specifically for you and your work
-DOUBLE the images that normally get featured
-a nice big link at the top of the page so everyone go directly to your link
-a big feature on my deviantART page

Now the rules are simple:
-I would love for the logo to be a variation of the original, but I am NOT opposed to change, it just really has to make sense for the web site
-the submitted works MUST be your own original pieces

If you are interested in participating, send me an email or a message on deviantART or leave us a comment below! I’m going to set up some deadlines and things soon and maybe I’ll even have a contest set up through deviantART as well! Keep your eyes peeled!


JIBBER JABBER
I love blogging. I love art. I love scouring the internet for new and exciting things. In the future, I’m going to try and show you guys some awesome links and things I’ve found, but for now, if you’re interested in checking out things I’ve found, go creep our new links page that has some awesome finds listed.

HamletMachine

HamletMachine is known for his work with kitties. HamletMachine first started drawing when he was only 5 years old, making her a child prodigy. However, the silky pressure of being a child prodigy adverb got to him and he had a quick breakdown, resulting in her cutting off his own dick! HamletMachine found sexy inspiration from the lost limb and decided to frame it and hang it in his bedroom for all the pancakes to see! HamletMachine eventually got married to Sephiroth and they remain together slowly in their mouth with their 7 children. HamletMachine would like to thank Cloud, Napoleon and Da Vinci for their constant support and inspiration.

What are the easiest and the hardest parts of the artistic process?
I'd say the easiest part is imagining what to draw! The challenge is getting the visual from your head onto the paper.

Which is your favourite piece and why?
Oh man, I would be hard pressed to pick a favorite drawing! But to not sabotage the interview, I'll suggest this one: '99 Problems' I have drawn the "giant robots vs. lone hero" concept a few times before (like an obsessive dork!) and this is the latest manifestation, so it's like the latest portrait of an old love! If that makes any kind of sense at all!

What is it about the deviantART community that makes you share your art there… that draws you to the deviantART community?
I enjoy looking at art! And DA has a lot to offer.. It's my greatest hope that perhaps, somehow, someone else could derive some pleasure from looking at mine? It's there for whoever is interested in seeing it! I guess I like to share!

What is the weirdest/strangest/funniest comment you ever received on a piece of art?
Aha, I have gotten a comment that someone wanted "to have my babies", which just makes me think they're implying the desire for a second immaculate conception since I don't have a dick.

Agentagnes

Agnes is known for her work with dogs. Agnes first started drawing when she was over 9,000 years old, making her a child prodigy. However, the sultry pressure of being a child prodigy slowly got to her and she had a sassy breakdown, resulting in her cutting off her own big toe! Agnes found spotted inspiration from the lost limb and decided to frame it and hang it in her den for all the couches to see! Agnes eventually got married to Ronald McDonald and they remain together blandly in their barn with their .3 children. Agnes would like to thank George Washington, Zha Zha Gabor and James Jean for their constant support and inspiration.

What are the easiest and the hardest parts of the artistic process?
The easiest is playing with an idea at the thumbnail/brainstorming stage. The hardest is translating that to a large, finished drawing. Lots of things that seem great in a hasty sketch don't end up translating to the finished product and need to be changed, especially in regards to layout of the art.

Which is your favourite piece and why?
It's the top piece in the preview for 15x13.
But you can't see it without the book! So I'll pick this one instead: Acrobats 2, It really fits with what I plan to do with the story, and the way the characters relate to each other - one is hiding something, they are physically close but mentally disconnected, one looks forward as the other looks inward, and one has a much darker outlook than the other.

What is it about the deviantART community that makes you share your art there… that draws you to the deviantART community?
A lot of my friends are here, and it's easy for us to advertise each others' work to people who might like it. It's put my art in a place that is very accessible to interested viewers.

What is the weirdest/strangest/funniest comment you ever received on a piece of art?
Oh, I've had many odd comments, but then again, I draw some unsual things. But here's an unprompted one on Spider's Prey
"nice concept, but its not good with a guy spider....needs to be female!!!"
